Randog Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Does anyone here know of a glue that would adhere to ATC plastics. My fender was in sweet shape till like 1:00am Sunday morning of the Regatta. :drunk2: All in a sudden my foot was hurtin' and the fender was cracked. Naaahhhh, I jumped on it to push start it and Mother Anyways, I'm looking to bond a piece from another fender under the cracked area. Glues I've already tried on a test fender: Super Glue. Cristy's PVC pipe red hot Glue. 5 minute epoxy. Shoe Goo. None of these are working. I think it would have to be a HOT glue to adhere to the fender. Any ideas guy? Thanks, R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, R- One thing that MIGHT work is a 2 part epoxy for plastic called plastic fusion or plastic welder. If you get the right stuff you will know, the wierdest smelling stuff a smart fellow ever smelt.... Seriously it has a strange strong odor. My holding tank hole for the drain fitting was too big for the fitting and I fixed it around 2000-2001 and still holding. It's flexible and resilant unlike regular epoxy that's fairly brittle. Rough it up on the side toward the tire, apply epoxy, add a plastic patch onto the epoxy then add a little more epoxy overlapping the edges of the patch, if the epoxy doesn't stick to the patch very well it will certainly stick to itself.

Foxysandchick Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Devcon Plastic Welder or Super Glue Plastic Fusion try a hobby store. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas250rr Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Harbor Freight sells plastic welders.... that really the best way to go if your gonna do it that way, apperantly they sell a color fill rod that matches the old honda plastics pretty well too. you can fill the crack from the top side also and then sand it down and it will be good as new.... be sure to wet sand and polish though. you can also find alot of supplys here http://www.urethanesupply.com/storeatv.php Edited March 11, 2009 by Vegas250rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineurbiz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Panel Bond by 3M should hold it, not a cheap route to go, but it holds metal panels on cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakster884 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Panel Bond by 3M should hold it, not a cheap route to go, but it holds metal panels on cars. Randog. We use a 3M rubber adhesive #1300. It will hold it together. I will see if I have some extra and send you what I have. Give it a shot. Like mineubiz said its not cheap but for a fellow DDR it free.

desertskyz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I have always used the 2 sides plastic epoxie. Works on all the stuff I do. Not sure it would hold up on your stuff. I was able to fix the A-arm on my Peeps qwad and it's still holding up good. Edited March 11, 2009 by desertskyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randog Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Cmon Randy FRANKENSTEIN it. That's was an OEM fix in the day!! zip ties and drill holes. Easy and always able to show a war wound! :shout: We have a winner! After 7 different types of glues, that didn't hold this type of plastic together for me, I finally decided : Eff-it!!!!! Since the fenders are pretty old anyways. "I'm doin' surgery." FRANKENSTYLE. I thought the stainless wire would hold up and look better than zip ties. Here's the outcome: Since I'm redoing another ATC70 that needs fenders, I plan to put this set on that one and buy new ones for this ATC. Thank you all for the leads and ideas.
